If you can follow @Screwballski's advice,i sure would try an individual bottle first . Maybe I would spend up to $3 for a single or 2, but THAT MUCH on Amazon or anywhere else, NO WAY,MY FRIEND! Buy something on Amazon, have to sell it on E-bay, Craigs List, newspaper or a Garage Sale or worse off ditch it when you move? Sure sounds like a game that should not be played.
Plus additional calories per bottle IDK. I wouldn't be over 300 pounds if calories and I had a GOOD relationship, that's a good reason at 72 I am still willing to go "under the knife" . Don't misunderstand, I deeply respect ( maybe have a teensy professional crush on- he is the type of doctor I wished I had been) my surgeon😷 Dr Needleman but I wish I had the opportunity to meet him at a dinner party somewhere instead of needing his services But I still inch my way toward my RnY surgery, September 5th will be WONDER WEDNESDAY and my REBIRTHDAY but I will make it there without any more excess calories piggy-backing on my poor chassis! And that is the way this Bari-Bud sees things!😛🌏😛

I don't like the Premiere shakes. The only one I don't mind drinking is the Atkins Dark chocolate shake.

I haven't found any that taste good. Some are just less horrible.

Well, I see what you are saying. I am 2 and a half months post op and am having a hard time getting in Protein. What do you consume for Protein?

I mix a 64 oz bottle with my drink at the beginning of the day and put 3 scoops of Protein Powder in it which is 60 grams. I use the unflavoured protein powder. I also add a pack of powdered Vitamins into the mix and then shake it all up very well. Sometimes the protein powder can develop into little tiny 'bits' but I don't really mind that. I make sure I drink the whole thing by the end of the day and then I add more unflavoured protein powder into my tea, or Soup and even in yogurt. Unflavoured protein powder is ma best friend!

They sell unflavoured protein powder on this website. The one I have found in Barbados is the Designer whey unflavored

I use "tera's whey"/ unflavored, unsweetened, 22g Protein. Whipping your concoction in a blender or bullet will give it a silky creamy texture without any tiny floaty bits.

Your body can only absorb about 25-30g of Protein at a time, so going beyond that in one meal isn’t going to help. I recommend the Premier Protein shakes 3x a day. They are only 11oz and go down easy.

I've also been having fun with non-dairy milks. It's amazing how many kinds there are: hemp milk, almond milk, quinoa milk, hickory nut milk, pumpkin seed milk, barley milk, pistachio milk, sunflower seed milk, Brazil nut milk, black walnut milk, hazelnut milk, soy milk, pecan milk, brown rice milk, peanut milk, yellow split pea milk, coconut milk, rice milk, cashew milk, oat milk, banana milk, flax milk, chestnut milk, pine nut milk, spelt milk, poppy milk, paradise nut milk, jacknut milk, heartnut milk, sorghum milk, candlenut milk, tigernut milk and macadamia nut milk.

The milks in red are the ones I've tried. Does anyone know of a "milk" I missed?

No but I found even my Bariatric program for the sainted Ohio State University does recommend that you may mix a certain Protein powder( I believe it is an isolate ) with almond milk and still,have a drink within their guidelines. So almond milk mixed with some powdered still very fine. When I did have a 1st degree relative with casein intolerance, it might make me more prone to develop it also. 👈😥👉
Life is seldom as fearful as our. fears think it will be.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
